Hi,
Both Mike's and Neemo's linked methods work reliably in the majority of cases. I've used most of these with great success. Highly recommended!

Best of luck,

did you use microsoft account for login? If yes, then it is much easier to reset the password with Microsoft account reset service.

NO, this is my local account not MS hotmail, is there any other way to reset my windows 10 password without system reinstallation.
